HunterX It didn’t take me 100 Years to figure out The Riddle of this meta.Īllan Patterson It’s Not Easy to solve these, but I feel like Superman when I do.Ī total of 345 solvers found their way to the correct answer this month. Spelvin Where’s “It’s Not Easy” in the difficulty options?ĭark Mark I felt a Clash, when trying to choose between Foo Fighters, Pentatonix, and Edwin Starr. Įvan suggests cluing COIR as and YEMENI as. Shirk suggests cluing SAUL as and ATOM as. Mike W suggests cluing ART as, while pbfrommn suggests cluing ART as. The website instructions say that meta answers will be reasonably well known, and these guys have less than 200 monthly listeners on Spotify! Out of curiosity, would you have accepted that as an answer? I did, for partial credit. Thanks!Īlejandro For a second I thought it might have been Finnish alternative metal band “V is for Violence,” but they’re not too well known. Littlevuberry Is the “Pent” in the title meant to be a pun on “penta” as in five? Because that’s also kind of cute. Gettable with google, and I learned something! Katiedid It would be very easy if I had heard of him. That would be NHL, TIMEOUT, and SIT – thanks! Enjoy!Ĭhuck Sneed I loved the extra clues in 7-, 25-, and 62-down. The newest Kindred Soul, Aubrey Richmond, joined me for this one. I unfortunately can’t give credit for War, The Clash, Foo Fighters, or other band names that don’t connect to the “V” rebus. While these are not as good as the intended answer, and not that widely known, each of these alternate solutions connected to both the “V” and the violence theme. The Office (2005) - S08E17 Test The Store clip with quote because I have had a lot of pent-up aggression Yarn is the best search for video clips by quote. I’ve given partial credit to solvers who found two somewhat viable alternative answers: V for Violence and Five Finger Death Punch. As a result, many solvers needed to turn to Google this month. John Ondrasik, aka Five for Fighting, has had three top 40 hits, “Superman (It’s Not Easy),” “The Riddle,” and “100 Years,” but his name isn’t that well known. What musical act could this point to other than this month’s meta answer, Five for Fighting? The grid’s three central down entries, NHL, TIMEOUT, and SIT, provide an additional hint that the meta answer has something to do with hockey. The grid contains five rebus squares, each containing a “V” in one direction, and a type of fight in the other: TIFF, SCRAP, ROW, WAR, and SPAT. Well, that’s an unusual meta prompt-not a band, not a musician, but a “musical act.” Hmmm.

March’s MMMM challenged solvers to find a musical act.
